We’re all pretty excited for the release of Ihsahn’s new solo recordEremita, set to be released on June 19. And thanks to the former Emperor guitarist’s label Candlelight Records, we get an early taste of a full song (and not just audio samples).

Candlelight Records is currently releasing a free eight song sampler via Amazon for a limited time. Among the eight tracks is a brand spanking new song by Ihsahn called “The Paranoid.” As if that wasn’t enough, the sampler also includes a previously unreleased and unmastered track from Rumpelstiltskin Grinder. Since we’re still not sure when exactly the thrash group’s new album Ghostmaker will be released, this early production mix will have to hold us over.

The free sampler also includes songs from Falloch, The Rotted, Wodensthrone, Sear Bliss, Woe, and Winterfylleth. And rather than hearing us blabber on and on about the new songs from Ihsahn and Rumpelstiltskin Grinder, just go ahead and download the free sampler from Candlelight Records now.

If you were at yesterday’s (26) Long Island stop of the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival and saw Code Orange’s set, you saw their last show on the tour. They said in a tweet that they’d be missing the last four dates of the fest.

Philadelphia grindcore trio Die Choking will release their first full-length album this October. The first taste of it, “Death’s Waveform,” is streaming now on Cvlt Nation. III will be released on Compound Records.

After tonight’s (6) Goatwhore show at Brooklyn, NY venue Saint Vitus bar sold out, the band has added a second show, tomorrow (7) at the same venue. Ringworm, Black Breath and Theories will support. You can pick up tickets here.
